What is TRIO Day? 

On February 24, 1986, a congressional resolution (H. Con. Res. 278) declared that Saturday, February 28, 1986, should be designated as "National TRIO Day" to commemorate the annual achievements of the Federal TRIO programs in communities across the country. Every year since then, the fourth Saturday in February is observed as National TRIO Day — an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of TRIO students and TRIO programs across the nation. 

This year, National TRIO will be celebrated on Saturday, March 2, 2024! KY TRIO will sponsor events on Friday, March 1, 2024 - Saturday, March 2, 2024 at Morehead State University!
